Default What was the outcome of the Million Dollar Experiment?

I'm curious - did anyone actually manifest the million dollar ? If not, why not?

Is the experiment still in progress?

I'm asking cause I want to make my own version of it, at a smaller scale, with my Romanian friends.

Thank you!

I think I recall him saying that the goal of manifesting one million dollars didn't really inspire him, so now he only sets goals that completly motivate and inspire him

OK the answer is YES.

I downloaded Steve's Million dollar screen saver back in the day, and didnt think much of it. Was making little money at the time. But started making it slowly. But not $1m.
A few months ago this entire sum entered my bank account.
It was a gift. Kind of like inheritance but not quite because there was no will involved, and I wasn't their immediate kin so I had no legal rights. it was not earned by my hard work, but someone else's. Someone very dear to me.
Someone who would've wanted me to have it, Im pretty sure.
Someone else fought to get this money and won, and b/c me and him were in the same relation to the deceased I got my share too.

Was this LOA at work? Maybe, I cant say. Maybe it has to do with fate, past lives, I dont know. I do feel like an old soul...

I have had incredible LOA things happen to me though. such as getting my MA degree paid fpr by a complete stranger I found online, or living in a strangers luxury apt for free for a year. Even though now can technically afford this myself, I like to play with LOA its much more fun

I dont know why I feel uncomfortable posting this. I answered to your thread in the IM forum but deleted it. Didnt want to sound like I was bragging, dont want to be resented for this. Hardly anyone in my life knows that I am now a millionaire... haha

I finally decided to reply to you, so that you will believe in miracles, like I do. Im very grateful

Oh and I believe this helped:
A few years ago, when I began my spiritual path, I came out of an accident that could've been fatal without a scratch. As a thank you I donated all my money, savings etc.. to charity. It was about 6200$. Money seemed meaningless compared to my healthy body. But I made a conscious deal with the universe that I fear not- I will have abundance and never lack a thing.

Well in my case it did apparently work since my business is worth at least $1M more than it was worth at the start of that experiment. I also bought a $1M+ home in 2007, although it isn't worth as much today due to the housing market crash.

I did lose interest in manifesting money once I had enough cashflow to live a pretty abundant lifestyle. I still play around with it now and then though, typically manifesting $50K sums, but it's not as much a focus as it was in 2006. Since I feel confident I can create as much wealth as I want, I don't need any specific sum of cash in the bank to feel secure.

These days I tend to have more fun using the LoA to manifest new friends and new adventures/experiences. In June I'll be visiting Canada for the first time (Montreal, London, Toronto).

In some ways it's harder for me to manifest money than it used to be because I have a hard time caring about money. I get better results when I focus directly on the experiences I want to have.

Thanks a lot Steve, and all!

I realize it's not as much about the money, and I've had a lot of success with manifesting experiences that I wanted. But I really want to do this experiment on my Romanian blog since manifesting money is so measurable. I chose a sum equivalent to 1/3 of a million $, which is 1 billion of our currency.

I have so many things I wanna do with the money, and I intend to invest most of it in my personal growth and traveling, as well as help my parents. They say they will also be participating in the experiment, but can be pretty negative though since art doesn't sell too well in Romania these days.

Besides, I don't intent this money to come only through pure coincidence, I want to also include my earnings from making websites and other things, as I've only had 1 paying customer so far. I'm thinking of including all of my future earnings, the only objective being to earn 1 billion of our currency in less than 3 years. If I can do that by doing only work that inspires me, I'm very grateful.

I would like to see another one of these fire up again. When I quit my job and struck out on my own; my intention was to make as much as I was making at my job.

The end result was that I ended up making as much as I did at my job!

I was able to do this because when your back is against the wall, its very very easy to focus your intentions on what you desire.

Now I want to take my income to the next level, just need to work on ways to provide a million dollars worth of value, which I actually think I can do.

@bluedragon, thanks for the reminder about this intention. I'm altering it a bit to suit my own personal purposes.

I'll likely be in Montreal June 15-19, and two of those are travel days, so not very long. I've never been to the city, so I don't know about planning a meet-up there. I'll be staying in a small apartment there w/ Rachelle. We're planning to explore the city together.

The Million Dollar Experiment is always ongoing. I had to nuke the official reporting though because spammers were trying to abuse it in stupid ways.

Oh, it is ??? So what do I do now, participate there as well as in my own, Billion lei experiment? Would the 2 fields of intention coincide?

I was also worried about spammers, but I only have 11 participants so far in my experiment, and I asked them to e-mail me 1 month from now to report their earnings. I created a private page where they can leave daily comments with their experiences if they want, and I only send that link by e-mail, google will not index it.

Cool. Please consider visiting Vancouver sometime, it's really nice here and I've love to hook up.

As for my own Million Dollar Experiment, I kept a log of all manifested money and it totals over $100,000 so far, so 10% of 1 Million. I haven't included getting a high paid job and royalties/revenue from my game business - just gifts, discounts, people paying for stuff on my behalf, unexpected gains etc.

Found 5 cents today after I passed my BC driving test.

The only time I made money doing what I love was when I designed a website for someone. SO I was thinking of including everything I earn from now on, since I have zero income for the moment.

If you're a student looking to be a freelancer, how do you not include your earnings?

@Jake Birkett - people gave you gifts and discounts totalling 100 000 $ ??

@bluedragon: Yes, but that was spanning 4 years, so that's *only* $25K a year. Mind you lots of things I didn't even log the value for because it was too hard to work out, so it's probably higher than that. I also give away 10% of my personal income because I believe that money should be a flow in order for you to see the benefits of it.

So, how many of you actually maintain the intention daily, for everyone involved?

I'd like to know if there is at least 1 or 2 people still continuing to hold the intention. If so, I'd like to participate, and if there's a group consciousness focus, I'd like to be aware of that.

If there is a new thread I would suggest framing it as increasing assets by one million dollars. Some members already have a net worth of one million dollars.

Done Check it out here and if you'd like, participate!

I could feel it the moment you said "why don't you start a new thread?", that I had to do this. This is where the energy is, and I feel that if we do this, we can definitely attract that million, and even more! And something tells me it would be well spent, too!
